Much to your relief, your walk is peaceful. The silence serene, with cool air and endless dark blue skies, a nice change of pace from what you've gotten use to. A small frown rested apon your face as you tried to remember the last time you felt so relaxed by yourself, too long ago to remember.

So much time spent worrying about Kokichi, and you couldn't bring yourself to regret any of it.

Sure, it more exhaustive than your previous way of life, but in all honesty it was the happiest you've ever been. You lived a life of detachment, alone surrounded by people, uncaring as long as everything went your way. Until you waltz his way, just another boy to you then. A meaningless risk you were willing to take to cure your boredom.

As selfish as it was, but you couldn't bring yourself to change a thing about it. Despite your beginning selfish intent, despite how long it took you to grow accustom to one another, you wouldn't change a thing.

Despite everything, you were his safe haven as he was yours.

A small laugh escaped you as you realized the irony. You came to him, practically swearing to yourself your relationship would be shallow at best, to now. Almost as close as you and Tsu. A small bittersweet smile rested on your face as you caught sight of the park near your house.

The now empty park serving as a trip down memory lane. You let another small laugh escape you as you remember the stuffie Kokichi gave you, mostly remembering how you almost gave yourself a heart attack over it.

How that park was a blessing and a curse.

Maybe if everything happened at another day at another time, rantaro would've never saw you both there. Maybe you would've both been spared from the unnecessary burden of having another problem pile up on a thousand others. Even then, you could find it in you to dislike the park. Much more forgiving than you once remember yourself.

You small smile grew as you let out a soft laugh in disbelief

Deep down a part of you didn't want to believe you changed so much. But at the end of the day you knew it was needed, bound to happen eventually.

Your smile lightened as you thought.

'How time flies...'

As you grew closer to the park, you couldn't help but slow your pace to take in the scenery a bit more. You figured a few more moments to you and memories alone couldnt hurt.

Your change of pace was abrupt but, at least for now, it wasn't important. It wasn't like there was anyone to judge your awkward movements. At least you thought so, until you heard something.

At first you saw nothing abnormal with it, until you processed what it really was

A second pair of footsteps trying to rematch the sound of yours.

Your heart stilled as you felt your blood run cold. You could've heard wrong, but there wasn't a chance in hell you'd take the chance to find out.

With clenched fists, you turned. Prepared for the worst case scenario.

Your hairs stood on end as you looked behind you.

Nothing...
You turned to see nothing...

Surprised, shocked, bamboozled. None of these could get close to capturing how you felt.

'There's no way...'

You heard something, no, someone loud and clear. But your vision proved otherwise, crystal clear, void of any odd apparition or dark silhouette you swear you saw out of the corner in your eye.
